Abstract

Para algunos especialistas, el turismo es una actividad de gran resiliencia porque en la mayoría de los casos recupera los efectos de guerras, desastres y riesgo globales. No obstante, el presente paper sugiere una idea contraria. El turismo, como industria, revitaliza los tendones económicos de la comunidad luego de un estado de emergencia, dando a los sobrevivientes una lección, un discurso el cual muchas veces hace que el evento se vuelva a repetir. Desde esta perspectiva, el turismo es un mecanismo importante de resilencia que ayuda a la sociedad a recuperarse. No obstante a ello, la modernidad ha hecho de los eventos catastróficos un espectáculo mediatizado y vendible según intereses comerciales. En vistas de esta realidad, las causas que llevaron al desastre no solo son tergiversadas, sino olvidadas generando un alto riesgo a que el evento se repita mañana.
